That's a great idea, use some lame Web 2.0 trend to communicate with actual real life customers. </sarcasm> Jeff On Fri, Jul 3, 2009 at 4:59 PM, Marshall Eubanks<tme () americafree tv> wrote:

We received a support ticket about why Authorize.net is down today (I don't know either, I don't ask too many questions).Authorize.net was for a while completely off the air, and companies that relied upon them were not getting credit card authorizations (and, thus, no ecommerce). I think it is still only partially functional. Authorize.net has been communicating with customers mostly (entirely ?) with twitter - they are @AuthorizeNet with a hash tab of #authorizenet If you go there, you will see a lot of status messages like #authorizenet (cont.) Do not manually submit ARB transactions b/c you run the risk of your merchants being double billed. 10 minutes ago from web (i.e., 4:47 EDT). You will also see a lot of posts from annoyed people if you search on #authorizenet It's an interesting use of Web 2.0 for emergency communications.
